National Mountain Climbing Day
Yes, today is National Mountain Climbing Day. It’s also called Mountaineering, and as the name implies, it involves scaling mountains. The closest I ever got to scaling a “mountain” was back in the UK, and it was Parlick Fell, in Chipping, Lancashire.
My family and I made it to the top but didn’t sadly didn’t take pictures (I was only 14 at the time so that’s, er, 48 years ago!) So the next best thing is to show you what Parlick Fell looks like, through the lens of Tom Pooley, below.

Take a trip to Carol’s Paradise Found in beautiful North Key Largo, Florida
Take a trip with Carol as she departs New York to begin a new adventure on the sunny shores of North Key Largo, Florida, where she creates her own ‘Paradise Found’ called Viera Key Cottages!
Carol’s Paradise Found recounts Carol Bartowan’s journey of how she and her husband, Jim, founded their bed-and-breakfast in Throgs Neck, New York. After running the B&B solo for a couple of years after Jim’s passing, she accepts an offer to sell.
Carol starts anew by renovating a run-down compound of cottages on the quaint island key of North Key Largo, Florida, where she now lives—and happily shares—her newly created cottage-paradise of sunshine, sandy beaches, and palm trees galore, with her intriguing guests.
